I guess “but it’s funny!” stops working for me at some point. Of course, the patronizing “critiques” of hip hop are the other side of the same coin, especially all the family values/role of the father conservative shit. - David Backer—
The one premise I can offer to justify my “whining” is this: In Jones’s book, and a lot of writing I’ve been reading online, there is a lack of engagement with extant-real systems of human organization: economies, households, cultures, societies,... - Matthew Simmons—

I thought Shelley was really nice when I saw here. She stayed around after the reading and talked with a bunch of people and seemed really laid back… It might have been because she was hosted by the University of Alabama faculty, who are really laid back too. - mimi—

Yeah, the Fashion Severe connection is weird; is this borderline ‘exploitation’? Korine is BFFs with Chloe’ Sevigny, is he not? Did you ever see Zoolander? Remember the ‘Derelict’ (pronounced ‘de-re-LEEKT”) collection? - mimi—
I do see individuals (it’s almost always a lone person, not a ‘kid’, and ‘homeless-looking’ , sorry, this is terrible, I feel bad) drinking from a cough syrup bottle on a street corner and acting crazy. I think there are mental health issues. I don’t... - jesusangelgarcia—

When I was at U of Nebraska I had a poetry tutorial with Ted Kooser where basically I would bring a handful of poems to his office once a week and he would tell me why I sucked at writing poetry…anyway, one day I got to his office early and he needed to make a phone call so I decided to check out his bookshelves and the art on the walls….it was a pretty good-sized office, as would be the case for any US Poet Laureate, I assume..but anyway, in the back corner of the office hung a framed target from a shooting range with bullet holes in it and written in sloppy ink was a personal message to Ted from Burroughs. I can’t for the life of me remember specifically what it said, but something about them being shooting buddies or something and the very fact that Ted Kooser went shooting with WSB and the implication that they might actually have been friends was crazy enough for me to never forget seeing it.
